So... Those are the basics. You need 4 of these triangles to complete the star.
If this is not clear - and I realize my shortcomings in trying to teach long distance - there are two other paper piecing tutorials on the board. One was done by Amma - an excellent one using a log cabin block as the pattern. (listed under tutorials) The other was under pictures, as of this morning - Look for Panther Creek and BoJo's Paper Piecing project. It also uses a pattern from Quilters' Cache.
Not yet trimmed - the final block with 4 paper pieced triangles
